The End of the East-West Conflict

The East-West conflict defines world politics for more than four decades. Its end is ushered in from 1985 by the new Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev’s reform policy, which now allows the Eastern Bloc countries to determine their own political and social systems. In Hungary and Poland, public debates on free elections are held. Unlike in the GDR, where the Erich Honecker government insists on its strict political course. But more and more citizens take to the streets, demanding democratic change and freedom to travel. On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall, which had cemented the political division of Germany and Europe since 1961, is finally brought down. Its fall stands for the end of the Cold War. This is finally sealed with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. | In this film version, German interviews and historical or literary quotes remain untranslated. mehr weniger
